A FULL-TIME national serviceman (NSF) who continued seeing his
14-year-old girlfriend over her family's objections in 2009 was
abducted by her father and uncle and taken to a cemetery in the
dead of night.
There, Mr Lee Poh Kiang, now 19, was assaulted by six men, one
of whom even held a samurai sword to his neck and threatened to
finish him off. The girl's father then warned him never to contact
his daughter again before letting him go.
Charged in court, the father and uncle claimed trial last year.
The hearing lasted more than three weeks and on Thursday, they were
convicted by District Judge Sarjit Singh of being part of an
unlawful assembly armed with deadly weapons that hurt and abducted
Mr Lee.
Her father, 43, and uncle, 38, who cannot be named to protect
the minor's identity will be sentenced on April 21, 2011. The other
accomplices, who are unknown, are at large.
Defence counsel Subhas Anandan told reporters that his clients
intend to appeal against the convictions.
Another charge of perverting the course of justice has been
stood down. It is alleged that when Mr Lee reported them to the
police, the father and uncle are said to have taken him to a
karaoke lounge, plied him with drinks and hostesses and tried to
get him to change his police statements
